  1. INR/PTT ranges

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can someone point me to a reference for normal INR/ptt for people with various conditions like artificial valves,

  2. INR/PTT ranges

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do appreciate your help, but being snarky about it is really unnecessary. Sometimes the pages that google calls up aren't exactly what you're looking for, and you have to wade through pages and...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Disease INR Range: DVT/PE 2.0-3.0 Atrial Fibrillation 2.0-3.0 Myocardial Infarction 2.0-3.0 Mechanical Heart Valves

  4. Are new grads contributing to the nursing job shortage?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Today at clinicals I was speaking to one of the nurses on the floor. I asked her if any new grads had been hired on the floor in the past year. She told me that there were 4-5 new grads, but they all...

  5. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    JeanettePNP replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    My class has 56 or 58 students. I think they accepted 60 initially but a couple did not register for whatever reason, and one or two dropped/failed out. In general, though, this year they have been...

  6. Things you've seen in the O.R that made your teeth crinch?

    JeanettePNP replied to RNman09's topic in Operating Room

    I didn't see this, but classmates of mine who observed a craniotomy say they saw a fly land in the sterile water, and the nurses just looked at each other and the fly, and continued to use it to...

  7. Are new grads contributing to the nursing job shortage?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wonder when word will hit the street that nursing really isn't so in demand or recession-proof. Then nursing school enrollment will go down, and there won't be that huge backlog of new grads ready...

  8. I fainted today in the ICU!

    JeanettePNP replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    I nearly fainted during OR rotation, not so much because of feeling nauseated but because of the mask. I was 8 months pregnant and found it hard to tolerate. I started becoming short of breath and I...

  9. what have you heard about LIU nursing program?

    JeanettePNP replied to iwant2banurse2's topic in New York Nursing

    All I know is that I once either called or emailed them for information, and they did not stop spamming me since, by phone, by mail, by email. Any school that spams me continuously is not worth going...

  10. If the job market isn't so great for new graduates,why are you still pursuing a RN

    JeanettePNP replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in New York Nursing

    I didn't start hearing about the job shortage until I was already accepted into a nursing program... I had already invested quite a bit into my pre-reqs and I wasn't going to back out. But had I known...

  11. Last semester of the year ! But I do not want to be a nurse anymore

    JeanettePNP replied to iamhere's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd semester and still want to be a nurse... Just worried about the job search once I finish. I had not anticipated that it would be this

  12. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    JeanettePNP replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    What was she leaking? Blood? Urine? Amniotic fluid? And how did she not notice it

  13. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    JeanettePNP replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    No, not a solution. EMTALA is meant to enable access to the ER for people who are in true need. If there was better gatekeeping at triage to keep the non-sick (let alone non-emergent) out of the ER...

  14. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    JeanettePNP replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think an anonymous note/email to the co-worker herself is the best option. It allows her to quietly take care of the problem without having to feel embarrassed every time she sees

  15. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    here's the list that someone posted on last year's thread (my comments in red): https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/suny-downstate-summer-373646-page4.html#post3576386 ok, here is the list...

  16. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    I have no idea if they'll be sticking with the same textbooks. For patho, you do not need the textbook at all. The one that is officially listed for the class wasn't very well written IMO. You could...

  17. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    Also, you can get away without the uniform top as well (which was like $36). Just buy a regular white scrub top and put the nursing school patch on it--your instructors won't know the diff. (Not all...

  18. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    If you can order your textbooks and start reading now, you'll have a headstart. Just start reading the OB and Pharm books cover to cover--you'll never have a chance to do that over the summer. Oh, and...

  19. Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    JeanettePNP replied to tag2007's topic in General Students

    I disagree with those that say that nursing school is all application and no memorization. There is a TON to memorize... medical terms, procedures, lab values, med dosage ranges and side effects......

  20. Last semester of the year ! But I do not want to be a nurse anymore

    JeanettePNP replied to iamhere's topic in General Students

    I have a wonderful clinical instructor who always has our back. She builds us up and won't let any nurse in the hospital give us flack. Plus she welcomes us into the ER (her regular job when she's not...

  21. Is Critical Thinking TAUGHT or just ASSESSED?

    JeanettePNP replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I don't think critical thinking is synonymous with answering NCLEX-style questions. They are two different skills and honestly, honing my skills at answering NCLEX questions doesn't make me a better...

  22. Taking A&P while in nursing school... how crazy hard is it?

    JeanettePNP replied to nocheapones's topic in General Students

    I think it would be hard to take nursing classes without having taken A&P already. By the time you take nursing classes you should already have a solid hold on the bio aspect so you can focus on...

  23. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    I still have no idea who Tanguera is...

  24. Downstate Accelerated/Class of 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to penbare's topic in New York Nursing

    My understanding is that you can place out of anything but the actual nursing classes. You need to show a transcript and they will determine if the courses are equivalent. It is highly recommended...

  25. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    JeanettePNP replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    If you check the thread from last year, I was one of the people panicking because everyone else seemed to have gotten their acceptance letter already except for me. But in the end it came--about this...
